I Almost Forgot!

Taxes went down here in Canada by one percent. Down from Six percent to Five. Two years ago it was Seven Percent. I wasn't sure the Government was going to keep their promis to lower taxes - they so very rarely do keep them, so this was a nice surprise.

The tax drop coincided with out television purchase on New Years Day, so we saved about five bucks just from that one percent. Yes it doesn't sound like much, but that five bucks will buy me eight litres of milk, and in the long run it sure does add up.

Just think, purchasing a new vehicle you will save about 250 bucks on taxes. Thats pretty cool, especially considering our car is starting to make noises about dying.

Loud grating noises.

Sigh
